Just a suggestion, if you're printing with HP OfficeJet, emerge hpoj AND hpijs, if you're not sure if you should use hpoj, check http://hpoj.sf.net/suplist.shtml ... if you're using HP ANYTHING, I suggest that you emerge hpijs (the HP InkJet GhostScript server, which will allow you to print PostScript on single function, photo, and business inkjets and PCL laser printers with nicer looking results). If you're using a PostScript HP printer, use the linuxprinting.org PPD's for HP and you should be set.
I hope that my input helped! irc.freenode.net #gentoo #gentoo-dev #gentoo-SPARC /query infowolfe I only really watch #gentoo-dev, so if you need to contact me, please /query me instead of asking for me in channel, if I'm around, I'll respond immediately, otherwise, who knows when I'll respond.
